annis family

In her few years at CNE, Mrs. Annis has taught fifth grade and kindergarten, but she's found a home in third grade teaching science and social studies.  Read on to learn more about her life outside teaching.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

I love spending time with my husband and my two daughters. We like to play outside and go to the Nature Center. I just love going on little adventures with my family! I also spend a lot of my spare time with my sisters and nieces and nephew.

I love all things Cincinnati sports - Reds, Bengals, Bearcats! So when I have spare time, I’m usually watching a game and sometimes attending one in person! (Being a Cincinnati sports fan isn’t always fun, but I’m definitely not a fair-weather fan.)


What’s a typical Saturday night like for you? 

I’m usually hanging out with my family. We love to go out for Mexican food for dinner. Then we usually end up back at home for a movie night or watching college football.

What are some pets you’ve had or would like to own?

I have had dogs and cats my whole life. We currently have a white Labradoodle named Bailey. She is about 85 pounds and thinks she is a lap dog. We refer to her as our gentle giant. 

I would love to have horses. I think they are amazing!

What is your dream vacation? 

I have two… I have always wanted to travel to Ireland. I would also love to visit Turks and Caicos for their beautiful beaches.

What makes a ‘good day’ at school? 

A good day is a day where my students are happy and excited about what we are learning. I love when students start thinking deeper about a topic and want to find out more. 

What are your must-have smartphone apps?

Pinterest to find fun things for the classroom, new recipes ideas, and creative activities to do with my own kids. Instagram to share pictures of my life with family and friends. Amazon because they have everything!
